97. See and hear along the way
Zheng Wen and his entourage drove a carriage from Daming Palace to Nancheng District from Dongcheng District.
As soon as he stepped into the range of Nancheng District, Zheng Wen ordered to stop the carriage, and got out of the carriage by himself, Li Yinger and Huang An had no choice but to follow the carriage, and Zheng Yi, who was driving, saw it, and felt a little helpless, so he had to make a gesture to the surroundings, Zheng Wen suddenly felt that there was something strange around, so he glanced at Zheng Yi, Zheng Yi nodded at Zheng Wen, indicating that everything was ready.
Zheng Wen then stopped care, standing on the ground in Nancheng District, and began to look at the scenery of the southern city of Yanjing City, in fact, Zheng Wen was still a little curious about the customs of this great dry people, but he had too many things to do, and he was too busy, so he didn't have time to come out and see for himself.
The position where the carriage is parked, located in front of Nanfang in Nancheng District, Zheng Wen looked inside, and found that the buildings of Nanfang are lined up one after another, arranged neatly, typical of the ancient Chinese style of the city structure, you can see the flow of people from a distance, hear the noise of people, a lively scene!
Zheng Wen saw it, and he was still very happy, this is the people under his rule, lively and simple, although he has not built an inch, but he still can't stop the excitement in his heart.
And at this time, Zheng Yi also took seven or eight strong men in warrior uniforms, and surrounded Zheng Wen and the three of them in the middle at once, Zheng Wen frowned, but still didn't speak, Zheng Yi had Zheng Yi's difficulties, Zheng Wen understood in his heart.
Then he had to speak, "Lead the way!" ”
When Huang An heard this, he immediately overlooked Zheng Wen, walked to the front, turned sideways, and said with a smile on his face: "Young master, please!" ”
And Zheng Yi was standing on the left side of Zheng Wen, with an expressionless face, but his eyes were observing Hui Zhou in case there was any emergency.
And Li Ying'er stood on Zheng Wen's right side, almost standing side by side with Zheng Wen, but slightly lower than Zheng Wen's half a body.
Zheng Wen opened his folding fan and fanned it before he said with a smile: "Go!" ”
The group immediately took action, as soon as they walked, Zheng Wen found that Zheng Yi was really prescient, he was born lame, no one covered up on this street, he was very conspicuous, although it is also very conspicuous now, but people only see pomp, not their own lameness, although Zheng Wen does not mind his lameness very much in his heart, but who does not mind in his heart, his shortcomings are watched by others, pointing fingers.
It seems that this white Arowana suit itself still has to do less, he is born with a defect and is not suitable, a white Arowana suit, if you don't pay attention to it, someone will recognize it. Activities for the emperor to entertain himself, such as the Kangxi micro-service private interview in the Qing Dynasty and the Qianlong micro-interview private interview, should be done less, and it is inherently unsuitable!
Walking all the way into Nanfang, Zheng Wen found that although the building was built very neatly, it was not as orderly as he imagined, and it was far less regular than a large shopping mall in a third-tier city in later generations.
Along the way, Zheng Wen saw many small traders, including those who sold sugar gourds, those who sold candy, those who performed acrobatics, and those who helped people write letters...... Of course, there are pawnshops, cloth shops, inns, and restaurants...... In short, it was a lively scene.
At this time, Zheng Wen saw a stall, a Taoist priest's fortune-telling stall, only to see this Taoist priest, there is a smell of dust, a white Taoist uniform, white beard and white hair, looking full of fairy spirit, sitting on the ground, behind two small Taoist children, from left to right, each holding two slightly larger flags, on which are written the eight big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, "iron mouth straight break", "three trigrams a day".
When Zheng Wen saw it, he immediately became interested, walked straight to the stall, and asked a little frivolously: "Who is the old man?" ”
The old Taoist listened, but he was not angry, but said with a smile: "The old Taoist is Wuweizi, this year is seventy and one, and the layman is a hexagram, how is it?" ”
Zheng Wen listened to it, and immediately laughed, as a man from later generations, he was originally a Marxist believer, a materialist, and he didn't believe in these ghosts and gods, but he crossed over, and became the emperor of this great work, although he still didn't believe much in his bones, but he was still sure of the reverence of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods.
A person, living in this heaven and earth, living among thousands of living beings, must always have something to fear in his heart, whether it is a person, a thing or a law, it is always good to have awe in his heart, and a person who is always delusional and lawless is difficult to last long.
I don't know which philosopher once said that a bad person is not always deserving of death, and the person who deserves to die is a bad person who lacks awe!
And Zheng Wen thought so, and as the emperor of Daqian, the supreme person in the world, he naturally did not need to fear others, but he still did not lose a heart of awe, what he feared was this ghost and god, this heaven and earth!
But Zheng Wen believed in this old way, so he had some thoughts of playing, so he asked: "Hexagram geometry?" Can you be less, young master, I'm short of money to spend these days? ”
As soon as Zheng Wen's voice fell, the two little Taoist boys behind the old Taoist glared angrily at Zheng Wen, but the old Taoist was not angry, and still smiled and said: "A layman is a person who is destined, and he has a fate with the Tao, and he doesn't take a penny, what?" ”
When Zheng Wen heard this, he immediately became interested, not because he didn't have to pay, but because Zheng Wen felt that this old way was a little interesting, so he said: "Very good!" Measuring words or looking at the face? Zheng Wen knew these two about the fortune telling, so he opened his mouth and asked.
"Layman, please!" The old Taoist listened, so he spoke, signaling Zheng Wen to be casual.
"Okay, let's test the word!" Zheng Wen also responded.
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he put the inkstone, white paper, and pen in front of Zheng Wen.
As soon as Zheng Wen saw these things, he felt that it was not very ordinary, but it was not easy to think about it, so he picked up the pen and inscribed the words "Tianxia" on the paper, although this word is not very neat and slightly scribbled, and it is not as good as the words written by most courtiers, but Zheng Wen is in a high position, and the words he writes have his own momentum and are self-contained, which makes people look at it and is still very comfortable.
Putting down the pen, Zheng Wen spoke again: "Old Dao, Young Master Ben will ask three questions today, one is to ask about ambition, the second is the way forward, and the third is to ask what is going on today, answer!" Zheng Wen said a little jokingly.
The old man listened, did not answer, but personally took the piece of paper in front of Zheng Wen to himself, looked at it carefully, and pondered.
After a long time, Fang said: "The layman is unspeakable, his ambition is not something that outsiders like Lao Dao can say, although his future has a slight twist and turn, but the future is smooth sailing, and he will eventually achieve what he wants." As for the purpose of the layman today, of course, it is to find someone, and this person is afraid that he has an unusual status in the hearts of the layman. Is the old way right? This old Taoist Wuwei said with a smile, but his heart was extremely nervous.
Lao Dao's ambiguous words made Zheng Wen hear it, and he immediately laughed, and after a long time, he said with a smile: "You Lao Dao said it well!" Exactly! ”
But Zheng Wen was very sure in his heart, this old man was afraid that he already knew his identity, although he didn't know why, but his suspicious personality made him a little wary in his heart.
But he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, after all, today is a white dragon fish suit, even if he knows what, in this Yanjing City, he doesn't know how many people want to put him to death, but Zheng Wen still believes in his own guard, no one can assassinate him in this public.
So, Zheng Wen smiled again and said, "Which Taoist temple does the old Taoist practice in?" What you said is really good, when Young Master Ben has time, I will go to see where you are, how about it? Zheng Wen said undoubtedly.
When the old Taoist heard this, he finally let go of his hanging heart, but he still smiled and said: "The old Taoist was born in Longhu Mountain, and now lives in Yanjing Baiyun Temple. ”
"Very good! I didn't bring any money today, so I'll give you Young Master Ben's fan, and I'll treat it as hexagram money! Zheng Wen undoubtedly put the claw folding fan in his hand into the hands of this old Taoist inaction.
didn't care about anything else, Zheng Wen only said: "Go!" He was the first to leave the stall, and the others followed one after another, and suddenly embraced Zheng Wen in the middle.
And the old Taoist Wuweizi watched the group leave, sighed, and then opened the fan, only to see that there were four big characters on the white fan surface, "rare and confused", the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and there was a square red seal of "Zheng Wen" in the lower right corner of the fan. As for the meaning of the words, obviously he didn't take it seriously, because he understood it!
I looked around with my spare eyes again, and found that the idle people around me had disappeared, so I breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the two little Taoist boys: "Little Xuanzi, little Lizi, close the stall, let's stop here today, and you don't have to come again in the future!" ”
When the two of them heard this, they felt a little strange in their hearts, but they still did it, after all, there were not many things, and they packed it up at once.
After cleaning up, Xiao Xuanzi asked with some curiosity: "Master, why?" It's just been on the market for more than a month, why did you close the stall? Master, didn't you say that you want to take me and my junior brother to experience the red dust? How did it end? Still feeling it yet? Xiao Xuanzi listened and asked with some curiosity.
Wu Weizi listened, but he smiled, and only said with a smile: "The goal has been achieved, naturally it is time to close the stall, it is better to leave early, this is the land of red dust after all, and people outside the old road should not be nostalgic!" ”
Although he said it so outrageously, he laughed at himself helplessly in his heart: Where is the real Fangwai? Where is the red dust? For the sake of this Taoist, he is a lot older, and he is not a cameo fortune teller on the street, but this Buddhism is indeed too deceitful!
